Idlk files replacing indd files permanently. How can I retrieved them?

I have recently installed CS CC 2014.12. I have worked only on two Indd docs, and both have been replaced with an idlk file for days after. I can no longer access the indd file - and have lost them completely! Can you advise where they might be and why this has happened?
I also cannot save the file to the server (Error code :0) and have to Save As which I am then told the file is 'in use by another user' (I have since closed it and no-one else has access). I try to copy and apste the info into another file, so I don't lose it altogether, and InDesign won't let me copy and save the contents onto another indd doc 'in use by another user'! Can you help pls.
Thank you

I am working in Maverick 10.9.5.
Yes, I can save to the hard drive, but can no longer open files form the shared drive.
I was always able to work directly from the server if needed - but now I cannot even open the files from there, without them being corrupted.
Just prior to the above, I had a (v. small) InDesign file open and it froze when left unattended - following/concurrently the idlk file was created and the file corrupted. Since this occurrence all files have become idlk files on the server. Even Photoshop takes at least 5 mins to let me reopen a file I have closed (as above) - as apparently I 'do not have permission...' or 'the file is already in use...'

I erased my ipod songs and I'llcontents by accident while syncing and now I can't locate them in my files. How can I retrieve them.

How can I locate my itunes songs. While I was syncing my ipod I accidently erased my songs and contents. Everything was on my eternal hard drive. Now when I click on the songs it can't locate the songs. I checked everywhere.

Locating missing songs http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ go to "iTunes library and back-up" and then "finding lost media and downloads"
Did you delete them on your external hard drive? Then you should use a backup of that hard drive or maybe you could try to transfer purchases back from your iPod to your iTunes on your PC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848

I can't restore my backup files. How can I retrieve them?

If you've ever backed up your files and been unable to access the data you know it can be very frustrating. Often times users will attempt to retrieve their data from the discs only to find that one of the discs does not work. At first glance this appears to mean that you can not get back to your data. Luckily there is a workaround.
This thread applies to backup CDs created using the "backup" feature of the HP System Recovery available through the F11 menu during boot. For more information on this feature take a look at this document.
You will need to download and install 7-ZIP. Here is a direct link to their site.
After installing 7-ZIP launch the program and navigate to your CD drive. You should then see a series of files named *number*.WIM. Double click on the first of these files and it will open showing your C: drive. You can then navigate through the files and select the ones you'd like to keep. To keep the files simply select them and click the "extract" button at the top of the application.

Here is a post I assembled for another with a similar problem:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade to an Intel compatible versions of your software, or find alternatives that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:
[click on image to enlarge]
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

I converted by PDF files to Doc files. How can I download them to my desktop?

I need to update the .doc files. How can I download them to my desktop? It should be simple but I can't figure it out.

HI DaiseyBabii,
Sign in to cloud.acrobat.com with your Adobe ID and password.
Click the Files tab, and you'll see a list of all the files you've converted.
Click the file that you want to download, and then click Download in the upper-right corner.
Let us know if that doesn't do the trick.
Best,
Sara

I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

Hello - When I installed OSX 10.8 on my iMac, all my bookmarks and the bookmarks bar were gone. On my two MB Pros they carried over with no problem. How can I retrieve them? Thanks

Make an archive copy from one of the MBP (File>Export Bookmarks). You may not need it, but if things sync the wrong way on iCloud, you may lose them on all your devices.
Then check out iCloud on the iMac. Is your stuff on iCloud.com? Maybe try logging out and back in again.

I just downloaded to the most recent version of Firefox, and lost my Delicious bookmarks. How can I retrieve them?

I just downloaded the most recent version of Firefox, and my Delicious bookmarks have disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Help! i just lost all my voicemail messages! how can i retrieve them?!

Help! i just lost all my voicemail messages! how can i retrieve them???

I also experienced loss of important archived voicemails on my Iphone on two occasions within the last 12 mos:
1. after upgrading my Iphone 4S to an Iphone 5 using Itunes backup and then erasing my Iphone 4s. I lost all my voicemails older than 90 days (ATT is my carrier). I was able to recover the old voicemails by restoring my Iphone 4s from my Itunes backup and holding onto that device for reference.
2. again, six mos later after restoring a new Iphone 5 using a recent ITunes backup after water damage to my first Iphone 5. Nobody in my local Apple store or on Apple phone support, including a "senior techniciaan" had any useful knowledge to assist me with this frustrating issue. Ultimately, I spent many hours researching this myself. Apparently, there is a bug in the Iphone 5 OS when restoring from ITunes. I don't know if this problem also occurs after restoring from an ICloud backup. However, I found that Iphone voicemails are available for a limited period 30-90 days through your phone carrier ie. ATT, Verizon, etc but more importantly, ALL voicemails are archived on an ITUNES backup regardless of age assuming you didn't delete them off your IPhone before last backing up your device. So, if you lost or damaged your IPhone but have an ITunes backup, all you need is an ITunes extractor, unfortunately not available through APPLE. Apple reps are not authorized to discuss non-apple issued software even if they're aware. There are several ITunes extractors available for music, photos, SMS files etc but most don't also have the capability of opening the embedded voicemails. Happily, using this software, I successfully extracted from my ITunes backup file ALL my voicemails old and current, using www.backuptrans.com/itunes-backup-extractor.html (Mac and Windows versions available). A life-saver!

I lost my contacts in Outlook when I began to use the i cloud. How can I retrieve them back into Outlook?

I lost my contacts in Outlook 2007 when I began to use the i cloud. How can I retrieve them back into my Outlook 2007?

Are you talking about icloud's emails or those from another service like google or yahoo?
If you log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and go to the email page, you will see what's currently stored in icloud. If they are gone, then it's probably "user error". If your computer has backups, then you should be able to restore the email files back to the computer.

Just a guess here, but when you are in Contacts, look to the top where it says Groups. Could yours be set to Hide All Contacts?

I've just upgraded Aperture and seem to have lost all the folders and albums. How can I retrieve them?

When I opened Aperture a dialogue box appeared suggesting I upgrade. The upgrade was done, and now all the folders and albums previously in Aperture have disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

. The upgrade was done, and now all the folders and albums previously in Aperture have disappeared. How can I retrieve them?
When you opened your new Version of Aperture you probably created a new, empty Aperture Library.
Do you remember where your original Aperture Library is located? Usually it resides in your "Pictures" folder, and is named something.aplibrary. If you do not remember where it is, search with Spotlight for ".aplibrary".
Quit Aperture, if it is running, then select your old Aperture Library and double click it to open it. This will launch Aperture on your correct library, and you should see all your projects and albums again.

Some of my notes disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

Some of my notes disappeared without even erasing them. How can I retrieve them?

I'm afraid to say that all of my notes disappeared yesterday, on my iPhone and iPad because they were connected by iCloud. I guess they are in the great blue yonder somewhere. The annoying thing is that I am a songwriter and use notes to jot down lines as they come into my head.and suffice to say that I have lost a great deal of material. To make matters worse, I haven't even updated my phone to ios6, only my iPad not wanting to put all of my eggs in one basket so to speak.
